Propane demand expected to rise due to late, wet harvest and need to dry crops

Propane demand in Saskatchewan is rising as a higher percentage of the 2019 crops will have to be dried following the latest snowfall and rain.
 
The propane marketing manager for Federated Co-op, Dave Turk, is advising farmers to order their propane in a timely manner to avoid last year’s delays in delivery.
 
Turk does not expect any propane supply shortages this year.
 
Turk says there was strong demand last month for propane, mainly from farmers in northeast Saskatchewan.

Video: Precision Harvesting with HeadSight and TrueSight Harvest Technology


Precision Planting's HeadSight's advanced header height control and TrueSight steering systems improve header performance, crop flow, and harvesting accuracy in the field.

It was designed for precision and protection, giving operators better control, reduced stress, and measurable yield advantages.

The durable poly arm sensors reduce wear and absorb impact before it reaches the sensor, extending component life.
Sensors are positioned as far forward as possible to maintain consistent cutting height and protect the header.
Its horizon controller system displays real-time data on a virtual terminal for pinpoint diagnostics. It detects wire breaks, sensor health, and connector status for fast troubleshooting.
The enhanced sensitivity control recovers up to 70% of sensor movement lost during ground contact, maintaining precision across uneven terrain and downed crops.
Field tests show a 0.3 to 0.7 bushel per acre improvement compared to manual steering, while reducing operator fatigue and header stress.
